And start with this "borongan" review! Hahaha... finally I can manage some of my savings to do this haul. Although it's just MUA (which is UK brand and they have very great bargain for their products). I wished I will find a good product with a low price (such a cheapskate, Devi...)
What is MUA? Actually I have no information about this brand when I did the haul. Very risky indeed. The cheap brand I know is just elf... But before I bought the products I always searching for the review (at the review section at their online store, from blogs, or cosmetic review websites).
I bought them all from an online shop at Facebook.. Well... with not really the cheapest price but trusted.Waited for a while and.... my babies come :)
Here is the picture:
Okay... that wasn't a haul... But I think that's my big haul... I have a small budget for cosmetics since I have to spend my money for living and else :)
I bought Undress Me Too Palette (so excited with this since this palette is dupe of UD Naked 2 palette), Brush-on Concealer Pen in Radiance, Pro-Base Eyeshadow Primer, and Mozaic Blush in English Rose. The sachet just a bonus, very useless and just one =_=) I love useful gifts hahaha.
And later I bought several MUA cosmetics such as their felt tip eyeliner and a lip stain. I sold the felt liner because I already bought dollywink liquid eyeliner. But I found their eyeliner is good but the pigmentation just so-so.
Time to review!
1. Undress Me Too Eyeshadow Palette
I like the colors... like Heaven and Earth palette... natural colors. But as usual, some colors are not pigmented... usually the matte one. Actually I like Sleek Oh So Special palette than this one. I haven't bought the Sleek one but I will and give my MUA palette to my mother... maybe. Or I'll sell it.
2. Brush-on Concealer Pen in Radiance
Looks like a pen liner but with bigger diameter :p with MUA logo. Very simple. But I like it!
Then you can apply the concealer. So easy to apply. The brush is smooth enough... maybe if you want more smoothness, you can re-apply it with your finger :p
Pros:
- Cheap (you don't say.....)
- Very easy to apply
- Good coverage for undereye and acne scars
- You can use this concealer for shading (highlight)
Cons:
- Hard to twist the exact amount
- Still too light for my skin tone :(
For shading? Well I made an experiment, I read a tutorial for shading with foundation... I used this concealer for the highlight job. And it turned good :)
The only problem on this concealer is the color... With this NC35 skin tone, I think this concealer didn't match.
3. Pro-Base Eyeshadow Primer
Actually I don't know why I need an eyeshadow primer... but I want to try this.
I love the packaging... seems expensive. This is their new product line, the packaging very different with their regular product (silver vs black :p).
The applicator is similar with lip gloss applicator... I didn't swipe it at my eyelid, just applied it a little and using my finger for the rest :p
Pros:
- This is an eyeshadow primer (?) ok this is so random. It did a good job for a primer because it provides a smooth eyelid for eyeshadow application.
Cons:
- Slightly expensive (IDR 75k or so) I'd rather buy Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer, maybe
- Hard to apply the exact amount (again...)
4. Mozaic Blush in English Rose
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...... so cute colors!! I love mozaic blush because of its cute color. I saw my friend using her NYX mozaic blush and I'm like, I will buy one!
This blush very worth it! It has a bigger diameter than I tought. Just around IDR 45k or 75k (I forgot, sorry..) for this cute mozaic blush, and here's the swatches:
From left to right = from the lightest color
What comes into my head is: aw too bad this blush is so shimmery. But I think I don't need to buy a highlighter :p I heard MUA Undressed highlighter also good... The only matte color on this mozaic blush is the pink one. Very sheer yet luminous on my face when applied :)
Pros:
- Good deal for a blusher
- The powder is soft... easy to blend and spread
Cons:
- I want a matte blusher but I got a shimmery one hahaha maybe this is my fault, I don't really know about blusher and so on.
- Too sheer color...
5. Another things from MUA I bought: Kiss Proof Lip Stain
I forgot the shade... but the color is pink. Very sheer pink. I like using it for everyday natural make up because of its sheer color. I have an unpigmented lips... so pale. I hate using lipstick because it easy to disappear and I can't reapply it (too shy to reapply lipstick in public place ._.)
This lip stain lasts longer than my lip tint. Maybe because it is a lip stain. I applied it like applied a marker on my lips. Hahaha
The scent is so fruity but it tasteless so I cheated >.<
Pros:
- Very natural color
- Last longer than lip tint
Cons:
- Can make your lips dry... don't forget to apply lip balm after lip stain.
- Have a fruity scent but tasteless... hmmm kinda obvious.
Can you share your experience with MUA cosmetics with me? Maybe I did some mistakes on my review (I beg your pardon >.<) and I hope this review will useful :)
This is my natural make up using the products >.< just eye make up~ sorry for the camera... too dark :(
